Depends how nice your lifestyle was back in Canada. If you used to live in a nice 1BR condo, you could definitely move to SF and spend an extra $20k/year in housing and still come out way ahead. If you used to live in 3br house with a backyard and garage, you definitely won't be able to maintain that in SF.
